Freeze‐Thaw Processes Induce Convective Fingering in Saline Soils
Abstract Saline soils in cold regions are often affected by freeze‐thaw processes, yet how these processes affect two‐dimensional salt transport dynamics remains poorly understood. Here, we show the importance of two‐dimensional flow induced by seasonal freeze‐thaw processes based on a validated numerical model.

Abstract Wind erosion is a major threat to organic soils under intensive agriculture, reducing their productivity and long‐term sustainability. Up to 2.5 cm of soil can be lost in a single storm. This study examined how soil water content and vegetation cover influence wind erosion in cultivated organic soils of the Montérégie region, Quebec, using ...

Comparing Different Approaches - Data Mining, Geostatistic, and Deterministic Pedology - to Assess the Frequency of WRB Reference Soil Groups in the Italian Soil Regions [PDF]
The assessment of class frequency in soil map legends is affected by uncertainty, especially at small scales, where generalization is larger. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that data mining or geostatistic techniques provide better ...

Swelling Potential of Fine‐Grained Soil: Theory, Determination, and Validation
Abstract Swelling potential (SP) has long been used as a terminology to describe a soil's expansibility. It is commonly defined in terms of pressure or deformation under certain constraints. However, fundamentally, SP originates from the soil‐water interactions in the interlayer space of expansive minerals and should not depend on displacement or force

Abstract Rainfall infiltration is a key hydrological process influencing agriculture, pollutant transport, and flood modeling. Accurate prediction of rainfall losses, defined as rainfall that does not contribute to surface runoff is critical in rainfall‐runoff models.

The importance of tree allometry for local-scale variation in aboveground biomass [PDF]
Aboveground biomass (AGB) plays a critical role in determining the long-term dynamics of carbon in tropical forests. Consequently, understanding what factors are important in controlling AGB in tropical forests has major implications for projecting the ...

High-resolution computed tomography reconstructions of invertebrate burrow systems [PDF]
The architecture of biogenic structures can be highly influential in determining species contributions to major soil and sediment processes, but detailed 3-D characterisations are rare and descriptors of form and complexity are lacking.

Physics‐Informed Neural Networks to Develop Site‐Specific Pedotransfer Functions
Abstract Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) are widely used to estimate soil hydraulic parameters based on easily accessible soil information, playing an important role in the parameterization of earth surface models. However, conventional PTFs, developed using measurements from small volume soil samples, often exhibit significant deviations from field ...

Spatially quantifying the soil carbon sequestration potential (SCSP) is crucial for targeting climate change mitigation strategies like carbon farming. However, static mapping approaches often fail by assuming that the drivers of soil organic carbon (SOC)
